Yes, dexamethasone can potentially cause low body temperature (hypothermia) as a side effect, although it is not a common occurrence. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that can affect the body's metabolic processes and thermoregulation. Individuals on high doses or prolonged treatment may be more susceptible to temperature regulation issues. Always consult a healthcare provider for specific concerns regarding medication side effects.
